As you can see above the Outlaws were victims of 2 straight no-hitters in week 3, but they salvaged the week with a 14-5 hammering of the Kingston Ponies on Sunday. The Panthers started the Outlaws nightmare week on Tuesday when Jason Oviedo of the NitaBeer Panthers no-hit them and then on Thursday, in the Cubs only week 3 game, Alex Gagne also no-hit the Outlaws.

The Panthers and Nepean Brewers were the big movers of Week 3. With the Panthers not giving up a run in their 2 wins and the Brewers winning 3 including giving the Kanata Athletics their first loss by scoring 5 in the 4th inning and holding on for an 8-5 win.

The Ponies had a very busy week as well, playing 5 games, winning both home games over the Battalion, but losing all 3 road games after only losing 4 games in 2015!!

Jordan Kritsch(Ottawa-Nepean Cardinals) – On May 26h, Jordan threw a complete game shutout vs 1st Place Winchester, striking out 15 to hand Winchester their first loss.

Tier 2 is now crowded at the top!! With the Winchester Sox losing their lone game, Marc Sports winning both of theirs, and the Braves winning all 3 of their games, Winchester/Marc Sports/Braves sit atop the division. Nipping at their heels are Beau’s Misfits who have won 3 straight after losing their first 3 Tier 2 games. The Metcalfe Mudd, Expos, and Cornwall River Rats are all currently scuffling to get their season’s on track.

RONA Performance of the Week

Dave Rivers(Dukes) – On May 29th, hitting clean-up for the first time in his storied career, went 2 for 3, with 5 RBI, a double and a sac fly in an 8-1 win.

As always, Tier 3 is getting tight with just 2.0 games seperating the top 8 teams. In 2015, just 4.0 games seperated the top 8 at the end of the regular season. The Mavericks sit atop the division after winning 8-6 and tying 10-10 and are unbeaten in 4.

The biggest mover of the week was the Dukes, as they went 3-0 to get back to .500. The Bombers lost a heart-breaker to the Sharks and remain winless . the Rockets/Sharks/Lumberjacks/Red Sox ALL sit at just 2 losses so nothing is set in stone in Tier 3.

Jonny Trafford(Coyotes) –On May 27th, Jonny threw a complete game, 4 hitter, giving up 2 ER plus went 3 for 3 at the plate with 2 BB’s to lead his team to victory.

Tier 4 is currently split into 3 groups! We have the Leaders – Los Vampiros, Coyotes, Lynx who lead the way a combined record of 13-4. Then the Middle – Knights, Irish, Cuba with a combined record of 8-7. Then the Bottom – Strykers, Bandits, Braumeisters at 3-13.

Somethings gotta give soon though as teams from the same groups start playing each other!! The Los Vampiros as emerging as the team to beat though scoring over 10+ runs a game and winning 3 straight.
